The main difference between ATPL Met and CPL Met is that ATPL covers weather at the higher levels where jets and turbo-props operate. If I remember correctly, the CPL theory syllabus is based on piston engine type aircraft operations.

Having said that, there are some similarities as well between CPL and ATPL Met, for example, the type of icing (rime vs clear) you get in particular cloud types and what their temperature ranges, decoding of TAFs and Metars and so on.

Good luck with it.
